Notice how its 4 groups of digits, not 3, it has an alpha component: RRGGBBAA. You can also use RGBA. Experiment a bit with the color and alpha values. The lines don't have an alpha component, thus using the default of 0xFF, solid line. If you are concerned about one line overlapping the other, try adding alpha 0xCC or so. > But how about the y-axis +20%, +40%, probable that > I should define myself ? Using CDEF, if not already a percentage. If you get fractions of 1, multiply by 100. If you get some value suchs as 75 out of 255, muliply by 100 and divide by 255. And so on. If you use a value which is not some part of a set maximum, define a sane one yourself and do something like: if value>max*1.1 then percent=110 else percent=100*value/max. The various tutorials help you with CDEF should it be necessary.
